Subject: Re: [xsl] Find distinct nodes from a sequence
Trivia alert -- in XPath 2.0 there are a number of ways to do this:
$x/.
$x|$x
$x|()
$x intersect $x
$x except ()
basically anything that involves any of the set operators but doesn't otherwise
modify the sequence.
I agree that $x/. is hard to beat, especially for those with limited keyboard
skills. (Plus, the way it works is really obscure, which in some quarters will
mean artful.)
Cheers,
Wendell

That is a great tip....
the best thing about it, on a UK keyboard at least, is that it only
requires typing two characters, on adjacent keys, with the right hand.
So there's a greater than 50% chance of typing it without introducing
a typing error, which can't be said of every xpath (or English) construct.
